And still no new release on GoG in sight. GoG is still at v2.02! I'm so pissed.

I already gave up on ever being able to buy the DLCs via GoG but to not even update the regular game anymore is a really grotty move guys.

 

I for one agree, you guys don't deserve being cut off.  Whatever GOG did that's on them not you.  It's kinda a catch 22 though since the game now contains parts of the dlc in the form of the "free stream updates", in order to give you those they'd have to give you access to the full dlc too, it's only fair.  They should at least give gift codes for Steam or Epic to you guys since they seem to be the only places Hinterland wants to continue to do business for PC.  Doing otherwise is only making them look bad.

Maybe I'm just blind, but I can't find the option to disable the photosensitivity warning screen.  I think I've been through every option menu and I don't see anything on the screen itself.  Can someone help me out?

It comes on during the warning itself... press whatever it is to skip.. at least on Xbox anyway.

I think this is a bug,if pilgrim is still supposed to have a 24 hour grace period, but I started a vanilla run and saw wolves within the first ten minutes...  I thought you had a day without them?

Has this been changed @Admin  or a bug?

Ah.  I see what you mean.  I misunderstood the patch notes.  I thought it meant "shut off and never display again".  Wishful thinking, I suppose.

It was worded a bit weirdly so I was surprised as well.

I was also thinking that.  On PC, it appears they just let you "skip" it after it displays for about 5 seconds.

Hmm...
I still feel like the whole photosensitivity warning "complaint" was (I imagine) really just an issue for those who would choose to save-scum...  That's the only situation where I could imagine that the original warning's wait-time would actually be a reasonable bother (specifically I mean for those who would be restarting the game "frequently"... then those 14 seconds would add up).

I didn't think of that. I always disliked the idea of allowing us to skip the photosensitivity warning. Having that warning display for a set amount of time is extremely important for those who need it, and I was always willing to wait the 15 seconds or so for the warning to pass if it meant those who need the photosensitivity warning were given plenty of time to read it. Yes the skip is "convenient," but for an already fairly slow pace game, it never really bugged me to not have one. Now I just hope that those who need the warning, don't accidentally skip it when they need it the most.

[hozz1235]

I don't think there are any who dispute the importance of the warning.  I think what most people didn't like was that you were forced to wait on that screen every time.  I think a great compromise would have it initially show the full duration.  After that you are given the option to skip it.  Doesn't that please everyone?

With regards to why people wanted to skip it, you can imagine all the different reasons you want, but each could have their own reason.  Does this mean it's right or wrong?  No.
I do remember (I think it was @RossBondReturns who said it) that he was testing many mods and the only way to do that was restart the game after every change.  As a mod-user, I can certainly see his reasoning.

In my opinion, everyone's reasons for wanting to skip it are completely irrelevant.  It's enough to know that there are people who want to skip it permanently.  That option should be available, perhaps after being forced to sit through the full duration one time.

Lol...    is there anything left to kill in desolation point?😁.    I've only ever had that moose twice in over 4 years...    

The one behind the garage in Milton has never spawned for me either..
